I am no expert by any means, and I only did testing using my USB-C iPad Pro (everything works). USB-C provides much more power than lightning and I think it moved data faster as well. In my case, I can use the hub using just power from the ipad (with both an SSD and HDD attached), or I can power it.

From what I've read (I haven't tried personally), you MUST use the apple camera dongle for most usb connected things to the lightning port and it MUST be powered. Even some thumb drives won't work unless it's used the apple dongle and it's powered. Most of my knowledge about lightning connected drives comes from the few YouTube videos I watched:)

I bought a camera adapter powered version in the Apple store, I had choice in the matter.
Or any mention would I like a USB 2/3 adapter.
I learning more all the time, I check out the suggested channel now.
Thank you Bill.

Regards Rob
